One of the tricks they used is Kata, where you move gradually and put your full force after causing more energy. For more damage at war.                                                                                                            Next Samurai appearance The Samurai is expected to be a role model to the lower classes by their appearance. A samurai wore fine traditional clothes. The soldiers had to wear the kamishimo. It is a combination of a conventional jacket or a haori and a hakama (trousers). The two parts have similar designs and colors, including the daimyo's mon on the back and the breast. When it comes to informal attire, kobakama or breeches are used.                                                                                                                                  Moving on to how Samurai affected modern-day life in japan today, Zen gardens and tea ceremonies are still famous today. Those are Samurai practices from the past that are still alive today. It is where they have traditions of different levels of formality. These are usually done in cultural centers, traditional gardens, and even hotels. In business practices, Samurai inspired workplaces to respect loyalty, courage, trust, and be calm while working.                                                                                     Finally, a little bit more of Samurai is, Samurai followed a strict code of honor called Bushido. Bushido is code for the Samurai so that they can have benefit. Still, Bushido isn't just about the help. Bushido is also about courage, self-control, politeness, mercy, and Justice. For more than 800, the Samurai have shown and taught teaching honor, duty, and service that remains in Japanese society still today. Whenever a samurai walked past someone, that person would have to bow if they did not, the Samurai would decapitate them. Samurai were mostly men, but their wives were taught how to fight as well. These female warriors were called Onna Bushi. They were instructed to protect their homes from invaders or robbers when the Samurai were away; they used a Naginata weapon. It was a polearm with a long blade at the end, kind of like a katana but turned into a pole with the handle.
